As a huge fan of John Marrs and his writing, I was disappointed by this book. The storyline was all over the place and very unrealistic. In addition to my issues with the plot, I despised Laura, one of the main characters in this story. If you thought Amy Dunne (from Gone Girl) was crazy, you are going to be appalled by Laura's actions. However, as shown by my strong feelings of animosity towards Laura, Marrs knows how to craft a deplorable character. It takes strong writing abilities to imagine and create a character that readers will have an intense reaction to while reading your work. As a result, I commend the author on that aspect of this novel. I am still a fan of Marrs and will continue to read his work. I have very much enjoyed his other titles such as The One and The Passengers. Unfortunately, this story just wasn't for me.
